Andrew Baum

District 7620 Rotary International Foundation Chair

Beginning his Rotary Career in June 1993, Mr. Baum and several others in the Frederick community formed the Carroll Creek Rotary Club. He served as the club’s third President in 1995. In 1997, then Governor Ken Shook appointed him as the Area Representative. His third year as Senior Representative led to his selection as District Governor for 2001-02. A member of the “Regal Eagles," 2001 proved to be a year full of challenges and triumphs. The culmination was the District Conference in Rocky Gap. Looking for more to do, Andy was aide to the President’s Representative in 2003, Foundation Chair in 2004, and Chair for on to Chicago in 2005. Governor Pat Kasuda appointed him Grant’s Chair in 2006, a position he held for three years. In 2008, Mr. Baum accepted the position of District Trainer for Betty Lewis and also chaired her Bermuda Conference. Another stint as Grant’s Chair, a couple years as Interact Chair, and District Trainer again rounds out his twenty plus years as a Rotarian. He has been recognized by the District with a “Service above Self” award and by The Rotary Foundation with the “Citation for Meritorious Service.” In 2017, Andy was recognized by the Foundation with the Distinguished Service Award. He currently is in his third year as the District Rotary Foundation Chair. Andy and his wife Leigh will be celebrating 38 years of marriage this year. They have two children, Chris and Matt.
